CARSTAR Canada, Canada’s leader in collision repair, has partnered with the BC Lions, British Columbia’s Vancouver-based CFL team. Through this partnership, CARSTAR will join the BC Lions’ continued commitment to be leaders in developing life skills for youth through amateur football.

CARSTAR Canada and the BC Lions have joined forces to drive impact on the youth and communities throughout British Columbia. Together, they’re set to kick off a series of electrifying football events, dynamic community programs, and high-energy camp clinics, all designed to inspire and uplift the next generation. With this partnership, CARSTAR has the opportunity to be involved in the BC Lions amateur football programs; Play with the Pros, and Punt, Pass, and Kick.

“Partnering with the BC Lions represents more than just a collaboration; it’s a commitment to positively impacting our communities,” said Ed Comerford, Area Manager of Operations, CARSTAR Canada. “This partnership allows us to extend our impact from the collisionrepair shop to the field, making a meaningful difference in the lives of young athletes and their communities.”

This summer, the community camps have kicked off with incredible energy and success! In June, CARSTAR and the BC Lions held three “Play with Pros” camps in Victoria, Kamloops, and North Vancouver, with North Van drawing the largest crowd. BC Lions players were fully engaged, teaching and interacting with the kids, even after a tough game in Winnipeg. The CARSTAR tent was a big hit, introducing many parents to CARSTAR for the first time, and the giveaways were a huge success. Kids enjoyed getting autographs on CARSTAR swag, making for a memorable experience!

By teaching life skills like discipline, teamwork, goal setting, and perseverance, we’re making a lasting impact on youth both on and off the field. CARSTAR and the BC Lions are joining forces to tackle this mission and drive positive change!
